Week 19

Here is our picture from Week 19!

Thank you to my awesome sister for the pile of maternity clothes she gave me. This dress was one she had when she was pregnant and it is super comfortable.

Week 19 was pretty low key. We didn't have any after work activities scheduled this week which was nice because I got to go for walks every day. It was beautiful here so walking was great.

I had been craving mexican food all week so Friday night Lenny and I went out to dinner and I got my fill of chips, salsa, cheese dip and guacamole. I surprisingly didn't have heart burn afterwards. Not that I get heartburn often - I just know how much I ate that night which is why I'm surprised :)  It surely was delicious though!

Saturday night we had a neighborhood potluck which our neighbors, the Koesels, and we organized. It turned out to be really really fun and a ton of people came. We had so much food and Lenny got to grill burgers on his big green egg so he was a happy camper. We had a fire pit where we all got to make s'mores for dessert. The kids in the neighborhood wore their Halloween costumes. And it was COLD. Unexpectedly cold. I stayed seated by the fire pit most of the night.

Lenny's sister, Lisa Marie, came down and stayed with us as well. It was great being able to spend some time together. She is so excited about baby Shelor and is going to be an awesome aunt. She's an incredible mom and someone I look up to - especially for her parenting skills. I'm very blessed to have her. I wish she could have stayed a couple of more days actually -- but I think she might miss her boys at home :)

I had a really nice Sunday - A relaxing morning, followed by a two hour prenatal yoga class. A dietitian - who also is a friend of mine - came to the first part of the class and answered questions about pretty much anything to do with food, drinking, vitamins, breastfeeding, etc. It was really interesting.  When I got home I ate lunch and then got to take a two hour nap (woohoo!). It does stink waking up and realizing I still need to go to the grocery store. But I did a quick trip there and came back to house. All in all - a great Sunday.

I have our 20 week checkup on Wednesday. I have been feeling more and more little movements that baby Shelor keeps making. It's almost like little bubbles in the belly. It makes me laugh a little each time I feel it because it's such a miracle. It makes me so happy.

I hate to cut this short but it's late for this momma. I'm ready to get in my pj's and lie down.
Until next week!
